Amy Winehouse Says She’s Not Racist
Amy Winehouse talked to the press outside her home yesterday and said that even though she had a video leak out that had her singing racist slurs, she's not racist in the slightest.
The video, taken by Blake Fielder-Civil sometime before his arrest late last year and published Sunday by the News of the World, shows Winehouse and another woman sitting on a couch, singing a string of racial epithets to the tune of the children's song "Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes."
Fielder-Civil, holding the camera, is heard encouraging them to sing it, insisting afterward he "wasn't recording it ... I swear on my life." The video goes on to show Winehouse passed out on the couch.
Winehouse later stood outside her north London home, telling paparazzi that she was sorry, adding: "I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going."
I'm surprised she didn't pull the "I have friends who are *insert race here*" excuse too. That one is usually a classic.
